Join family therapists and authors Ken Dolan-Del Vecchio and Nancy Saxton-Lopez as we welcome special guest Dr. Shelagh McCaffrey, who will talk with us about end-of-life care. We'll discuss: - the difference between futile and palliative care. - making the decision to euthanize and preparing for the experience. - including children in end-of-life care, including euthanasia. - in-home vs in-office euthanasia. - and more--feel free to send your comments and questions during the broadcast. Dr. McCaffrey is one of fewer than 100 veterinarians worldwide who has advanced training and certification in animal hospice and palliative medicine. After working in the veterinary profession for nearly 15 years, Dr. McCaffrey began to realize that there is a significant gap in senior pet care. With all of the incredible advances in veterinary medicine over the past decade, she noticed how often pet parents felt lost when their beloved companion received a chronic or terminal diagnosis. Without resources to assess what all of their options were and what might be best for their individual situation, many pet families began to feel helpless. Dr. McCaffrey helps her clients navigate through this extraordinarily challenging time in their pet's life.

The number one stressor for nurses is burnout. Nurses are very unique human beings with a rare ability to care for others. They put their patients, family, and friends above themselves. That is why burnout is the biggest issue in healthcare. Nurses put others before themselves and forget how important they themselves are. Self care is a very important concept that nurses need to grasp. Britt Greaves does an amazing job of explaining the importance of self care and how to incorporate it into your life. Everyone has their escape but make sure it's a healthy one. Meditation, yoga, sound healing, and taking time off for yourself are great ways to stay happy and healthy. Being a nurse also allows you to have a vast amount of opportunity. Maybe it's time to switch to a different unit or take on travel nursing. When we feel stuck as a nurse the best thing we could do for ourselves is change. In this episode, we welcome Britt Greaves, a nurse who has worked in Hospice/Palliative Care, and ICU. She has also worked as a travel nurse for 5 years in PICU. When she's not working, she blogs and volunteers for international medical missions. Britt is also the founder of The Debrief, which advocates for mental health in the nursing community. And today, she will share her experiences and thoughts about travel nursing, how to heal, and The Debrief.

Hospice palliative care is made up of two parts – hospice care and palliative care.  Palliative, or comfort, care is appropriate for people of any age and at any stage of a serious illness.  Hospice care is generally for those who have twelve or fewer months to live and who are no longer receiving active curative treatment.  Hospice palliative care combines those two philosophies.  Hospice Quinte has been delivering quality hospice palliative care in our communities, at no charge, since 1985.  Learn more about this special kind of health care in this week's Changing Lives podcast.Listen on 91x FMYou can listen to episodes of "Changing Lives"  on 91x FM each Monday (except for holidays) at 9:05am.  Hospice Quinte is grateful to the support that 91x FM provides in producing the "Changing Lives" podcast.About Hospice QuinteHospice Quinte provides individuals, their families, and caregivers with compassionate end of life care, by attending to their physical, psychosocial, and practical needs, and offering empathetic care to those who are grieving through visiting hospice services and support groups.  All Hospice Quinte programs and services are provided by compassionate, well-trained volunteers and staff at no charge to the individual or their family.  Hospice Quinte serves a population of over 102,000 in Quinte West, Belleville, Deseronto, Tyendinaga Township and the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory.

Judith Yasunaga MD defines palliative care and how it differs from hospice care. She identifies resources available to build palliative care skills and she debunks myths or misconceptions surrounding the specialty

Maintaining quality of life during a serious illness—or planning for end of life care—can be a tough emotional journey. This holds true whether this care is for yourself or a loved one. Luckily, there are healthcare professionals with experience helping people navigate this journey every step of the way. Laura Hoeksema, MD discusses what you can expect from hospice and palliative care—and why both kinds of care provide such comfort.

For many, including some health care professionals, palliative care is often equated with hospice care despite differences in how they apply to patients.  In this episode Dr. Glen Komatsu, regional chief medical officer of Hospice & Palliative Care for Providence St. Joseph Health, Southern California, and Denise Hess, CHA's director of Supportive Care, explain the benefits of palliative care and discuss how patients and their loved ones can talk to their physicians and caregivers about receiving care that's designed to support the treatment of symptoms and side effects of serious disease and improve overall quality of life.  CHA Palliative Care resource page

As we approach the 40th anniversary of the Medicare hospice benefit, we stand at an important reflection point to evaluate end-of-life care and map its future. In this new series, we gather leaders and thinkers from a range of disciplines to explore our needs at the end of life, how they have changed over time and how care models need to adapt. We will consider our societal relationship to mortality and what impact the growth of Hospice & Palliative Care has had on how we meet the challenges of death and loss. Our guests will share their perspectives on the policy, legislative and healthcare delivery changes needed to enhance how we care for those with life-limiting conditions and ensure wellness at all stages of life. We hope you enjoy these insightful conversations and that they inspire positive change in how we care for one another at the end of life.Join Meg Pekarske in this deep and meaningful conversation with Dr. Janet Bull as we explore how best to relieve suffering at the end of life and her reflections on what death has to teach us about living. Janet’s perspective is profoundly unique and is informed by being a witness to both the beginning of life – as an obstetrician-gynecologist – and toward the end of life as a hospice physician and Chief Medical Officer of Four Seasons, a nationally recognized leader in caring for those with serious illness. Janet has devoted the second half of her medical career to end-of-life care. She is a long-time leader in Hospice & Palliative Care, serving as past President of the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine and conducting significant research on the role and impact of palliative care in our healthcare system. In this episode, Janet shares what her life’s work has taught her on how we care for the dying, how it has evolved over time and what remain our greatest hurdles to ensuring good deaths. We explore what influence the growth and acceptance of hospice care has had on our societal relationship to mortality and where we have yet to go to ensure quality end-of-life care. We hope you enjoy this expansive conversation and that it enriches your thinking about how we can better serve those experiencing death and loss.

I had such a great discussion with Dr. BJ Miller for this episode. BJ is a hospice and palliative care physician and he has worked with many patients who are seriously ill, or dying. He has such a unique and important perspective to share with us about death and about life, as well as practical information about palliative care, hospice, and navigating serious illness. I found him to be such a thoughtful guest. After you listen to our discussion, be sure to check out his TED talk—it's a must-watch. Some topics BJ and I discuss include: What he feels death has to teach us about life; How his own injury and near-death experience changed his career trajectory and led him into medicine; What is palliative care, and how does it relate to hospice; Examples of how palliative care can be helpful; Why his book, A Beginner's Guide to the End, has a chapter called “Love, Sex, and Relationships;” What to expect if you engage hospice; What is the ‘respite care' benefit of hospice; and Services BJ is providing through Mettle Health to make palliative care more accessible to all. I hope you enjoy my discussion with Dr. BJ Miller. -=-=-=-=- Thank you sponsors & partners: Audible - Get a FREE audiobook and 30-day free trial: www.audibletrial.com/widowedparent BetterHelp - Talk with a licensed, professional therapist online.

The campaign to raise money for hospice palliative care continues in Cape Breton. We speak with Irene Khatter and Jane Lewis to tell us how they are doing in regards to fundraising.

Last year, confusion and consternation ensued when CMS finalized new requirements for the hospice election statement and an “addendum” with patient-specific information about the hospice’s coverage responsibility.  Those requirements are set to become effective as early as October 1, 2020.  In this episode, Hospice & Palliative Care attorneys Meg Pekarske, Bryan Nowicki and Andrew Brenton break down these requirements and discuss their implications for hospices.  Among other things, the attorneys address the controversial position CMS has taken in characterizing the addendum as a condition of payment for hospice care.For resources related to this episode, please see the following:CMS, FY 2021 Hospice Wage Index Proposed RuleCMS, Proposed Modifications to Model Election Statement and New Model AddendumCMS, FY 2020 Hospice Wage Index Final Rule

MEET GUEST Shannon Cayea, CEO, Hospice & Palliative Care! The Greater Utica Chamber is featuring a different local business several times a week in a special edition of their Leveling Up Podcast called “Leveling Up-Social Distancing Series”. Executive Director Meghan McGrogan will interview business owners or organization leaders and let you know who they are, what their business is, and how you can access their services or products to support them. Supporting local businesses during the COVID-19 pandemic is crucial to their survival.

The only thing constant is change…since our last podcast, evolving guidance from HHS continues to create confusion regarding how the relief payments were calculated and under what circumstances providers should accept or return relief payments. In this episode, Hospice & Palliative Care attorneys Meg Pekarske, Bryan Nowicki, and Andrew Brenton break down the latest Relief Fund guidance from HHS and discuss its implications for hospices.

On Friday, April 10, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services began disbursing $30 billion in relief funds directly to Medicare providers, including hospices. The use of those funds, however, is subject to a number of terms and conditions that raise significant questions. Failure to adhere to those terms and conditions could require a hospice to return those funds or result in liability during future audits or enforcement actions. In this episode, Hospice & Palliative Care attorneys Meg Pekarske and Bryan Nowicki analyze those term and conditions, and provide a framework for how hospices should begin reviewing these requirements in order to establish systems for compliance that mitigate risk.

But what if we could enhance the quality of our life today by confronting our own mortality and shifting the way we think about death? Death or dying may feel dark and strikes up a mix of emotions for many of us.  There’s the fear of it happening; the anxiety of the unknown; and sadness for those that we’ve lost.  After my conversation with today’s guest Mary Jones, I’ve been thinking a lot more about how I think about death and how I want to leave the world. This process has helped me reflect on my own values and identify the things that are really, truly important to me.   Mary Kelly Jones is the Director of Family Support Services for Hospice & Palliative Care of St. Lawrence Valley in Potsdam New York. With over 25 years’ experience at Hospice, Mary manages Hospice Chaplains, Social Workers, Volunteer Manager and Bereavement Staff. Mary is passionate about educating Hospice staff and the St. Lawrence County community in all matters related to end of life.    She has written over 30 grief publications for hospice families and community. She has served as a member of the Professional Education Committee for the National Hospice & Palliative Care Organization.   In addition to her role at Hospice, Mary is an adjunct instructor at SUNY Potsdam in the Public Health and Human Performance department. Mary has taught Death & Dying, both fall and spring semesters, for the last twelve years. Mary also serves as the chair of the St. Lawrence County Suicide Awareness Coalition and currently chairs the St. Lawrence County Community Service Board. Mary and I talk about:  How you fundamentally shift as a person being in the room when someone is near the end of life. How changing the way we think about death can help us heal and die well.  How Hospice as opposed to the traditional medical system focuses on the quality of life instead of trying to lengthen their life as patients near the end. That death is inevitable so instead of trying to stop death we can focus on enhancing our lives.  Why there’s no right way to grieve except to make sure that you do.  How a death and dying course taught a group of college kids what it means to live.  Four simple phrases—“Please forgive me,” “I forgive you,” “Thank you,” and “I love you”—carry enormous power to mend and nurture our relationships and inner lives.  And how our legacies and the legacies of the ones we love will always be carried on. 

There are many ways that a family or an individual can be faced with an “end-of-life diagnosis”. We commonly think of Cancer, Heart Disease and other conditions or diseases that show obvious physical symptoms, and can progress quite rapidly in some cases. People with Alzheimer’s or another form of dementia don’t immediately fit the same mold, and that can make it harder to acknowledge and meet their needs.

Hospice palliative care isn’t something most people like to talk about – or may even know about. Hospice palliative care is made up of two parts – hospice care and palliative care. Palliative, or comfort, care is appropriate for people of any age and at any stage of a serious illness. Hospice care is generally for those who have twelve or fewer months to live and who are no longer receiving active curative treatment. Hospice palliative care combines those two philosophies.

In this installment of DOCTORMENTARIES (our Doctor interview series), Reesh talks to Dr. Sunil Kumar Aggarwal aka "The Cannabinologist." Sunil is a Hospice & Palliative Care physician that practices near Seattle, Washington. He has been at the forefront of the medical marijuana movement for over a decade and his research helped convince the American Medical Association (AMA) of potential medical uses of cannabis that led them to call for rescheduling of the drug so that more research could be done. This interview covers his journey to becoming an international cannabis expert, the odd history of marijuana in the United States and current practices of "prescribing" the drug in states where it's legal. ** Episode edited/mixed by DJ Nuvo Reesh with original production courtesy of P@ Split.

This episode features Rachel Depner (Palliative Care Institute, The Center for Hospice & Palliative Care, New York, USA). She reports on her study which aimed to (a) describe a prison-based end-of-life program utilizing inmate peer caregivers, (b) identify inmate-caregiver motivations for participation, and (c) analyze the role of building trust and meaningful relationships within the correctional end-of-life care setting. A total of 22 semi-structured interviews were conducted with inmate-caregivers. Data were analyzed using Consensual Qualitative Research methodology. The study finds that, in total, five over-arching and distinct domains emerged; this manuscript focuses on the following three: (a) program description, (b) motivation, and (c) connections with others. The findings suggest that inmate-caregivers believe they provide a unique and necessary adaptation to prison-based end-of-life care resulting in multilevel benefits. These additional perceived benefits go beyond a marginalized group gaining access to patient-centered end-of-life care and include potential inmate-caregiver rehabilitation, correctional medical staff feeling supported, and correctional facilities meeting end-of-life care mandates. Additional research is imperative to work toward greater standardization of and access to end-of-life care for the incarcerated.
